Red-hot Joey Logano continued to show blistering speed as he won the pole for Sunday's Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 at Martinsville Speedway, the first race of NASCAR's playoff semifinals.
Logano, who comes to Martinsville riding a three-race winning streak, lapped the sport's oldest and shortest track at 98.548 miles per hour, good enough claim the top spot in the 43-car field.
More from FoxSports
"It's an amazing run we're on right now," said Logano, who also won the pole at the spring race here. "This Shell Pennzoil team, they're unbelievable. I'm just the lucky guy who gets to drive this thing right now. It's so much fun. We're doing everything right, but all that can end in a blink of an eye, so we've just got to keep our focus.
The pole was Logano's sixth of the season and 14th of his career in 252 starts.
Qualifying on the outside of Row 1 was Martin Truex Jr.'s Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet at 98.487 mph. AJ Allmendinger, Jamie McMurray and Jeff Gordon completed the top five.
Carl Edwards (14th) and Kurt Busch (15th) were the only two Chase drivers to not advance to the final round of qualifying.
"We got behind on tires and that's what set us back," said Edwards. "… Our car was better here (in qualifying) than in practice. I'm excited about that."
Dale Earnhardt Jr., the defending race winner, will start 22nd on Sunday, on the outside of his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson.
In the first of three rounds of time trials, Kasey Kahne spun and hit the wall, necessitating a move to a backup car. "I ruined a pretty good car," said Kahne.
Also in the opening session, 2012 series champion Brad Keselowski tagged the wall, causing minor damage to his Team Penske Ford. All eight drivers still in championship contention, including Keselowski, were among the 24 who advanced to the second round of qualifying.
The Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 kicks off the three-race Eliminator Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. After the third race of the round, four drivers will be eliminated from the championship and the remaining four will race for the series title at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 15.

By Elias Biryabarema
KAMPALA (Reuters) - Leading Ugandan opposition figure Kizza Besigye was charged on Thursday with belonging to an unlawful society, a police official said.
Besigye, who has lost three presidential elections, led mass protests in 2011 against Uganda's long-serving president Yoweri Museveni. The demonstrators complained of vote-rigging, corruption and excessive prices for basic goods.
"He was produced in court today and charged with belonging to an unlawful society but he asked for bail and the court granted it," Patrick Onyango, a police spokesman told Reuters.
Besigye has in the past threatened to use Arab-Spring style street protests to remove Museveni.
Onyango said Besigye belonged to For God and My Country (4GC), a political pressure group which was at the heart of the 2011 protests and allied to Besigye's Forum for Democratic Change (FDC). 4GC was banned after the 2011 protests.
Besigye has been arrested several times at public rallies since the peak of the 2011 protests and although he stepped down last year as leader of FDC, Uganda's biggest opposition party, police have kept him under close scrutiny.
He was detained along with Kampala mayor, Erias Lukwago, on Tuesday evening as he addressed supporters in the capital.

'American Idol' Alum Elise Testone Debuts 'I Will Not Break' Video
The season 11 alum will release her new album, "In This Life," on Feb. 11.
Elise Testone's debut album, In This Life, hits shelves on Tuesday, but the American Idol season 11 singer is giving fans an early treat with the release of her new music video for "I Will Not Break."
The clip, directed by David Keller, features Testone and her love interest taking a journey on a rowboat under a lush southern backdrop.
VIDEO: American Idol Hollywood Week Kicks Off With Nikki McKibbin, Son Tristen Langley
Recorded in Charleston, S.C., In This Life -- available for pre-order on her website -- features appearances by fellow Idol alum Erika Van Pelt and Darius Rucker.
The 30-year-old New Jersey native said her new album "tells a continuous story of personal and non-personal struggles with relationships on multiple levels."
Last summer, Testone told The Hollywood Reporter that she is releasing the record independently on her own label, Red Tambo Records. "It covers every genre: Americana, pop, country, soul , blues, funk , jazz and rock, but I feel like it's cohesive and it flows," she said. "I'm glad that I did it this way."
Testone will celebrate the record's release with back-to-back shows on Feb. 13 in Charleston. The first show will be at the Charleston Music Hall at 7:30 p.m., followed by a 10 p.m. gig at The Pour House.

I am delighted to welcome, Author and Professor, Bob Cotton, to my corner of all things nineteenth-century and the Victorian era. I first met Bob, online, as he lives on the Isle of Wight and I am in New York City. He contacted me regarding my article I wrote on May Prinsep and a bit of it is quoted in one of the chapters in Julia Margaret Cameron & the allure of Photography. Here's a sample page with my article quoted below. There are forty sample pages available on the book website Blurb where you can purchase it in ebook format, so don't worry, if you're cautious, you can read a sample first! I will link to Blurb at the end of this interview.
Why did you choose Julia Margaret Cameron as the subject of this book and how much of her life and work have you included in 'Allure of Photography'?
First of all, I have been interested in the history (and current developments and future projections) of media for over twenty years. I was elected a trustee of Dimbola Museum and Galleries two years ago, and began to research Julia Margaret and early photography in much more detail than before. Like all research projects, the work was non-linear - some of the events that influenced the research were: talking to the researcher/practitioner Karen Grainger about her wet collodion experiments, recreating the photographic processes that Julia used at Dimbola; talking to the JMC expert Colin Ford (the founder of the National Media Museum, Bradford, lead researcher of JMC, author of catalog raisonne and other core volumes; Talking to Brian Hinton, chair of JMC Trust, who has written several pamphlets and booklets on JMC and the Freshwater Circle. Brian was one of the founder members of the Trust, responsible for saving Dimbola from demolition, and a fund of local knowledge; absorbing the life and atmosphere of Dimbola and the friends, trustees and volunteers working there; the attraction that Dimbola has for interesting people - students, researchers, fans - and my personal friends; reading Victoria Olsen's biography of JMC - this helps enormously in building a picture of her as a woman, as a portrait photographer, as a mother and as a saloniere. Studying the archive prints we have at Dimbola, browsing the Dimbola library. All these components of research informed my task of developing a forward plan for the Trust. This forward plan focused on looking at the way in which we communicated our knowledge of JMC and her contemporaries (the 'Freshwater Circle'), and it became obvious that there was a huge gap to be filled between our 'local history pamphlets' and the specialist academic volumes intended for the research and curatorial community. It also became apparent that we needed an overview - a work that would place JMC in context, place the technology she adopted in context, and that at least tried to describe the impact of photography on the world and especially upon the arts - and tried to describe the enormity of this impact.
In terms of how much of her life and work? - really, this book is an overview. About 40% of the book is directly about JMC, there are hardly any biographical details. The function of an overview in this case is to provide an introduction to JMC's work - to answer the question of why she became so absorbed and inspired by photography - and to 'situate' her work in the cultural-aesthetic-
technological continuum of the
mid-19th century. It is also necessary to draw attention to the
historical conditions of the time - sunlight the only useful
light-source, water from the well the only solvent, (etc), and
importantly to try to recreate the impact of this miraculous invention -
the first automatic image-making machine in the world.
How long was your research process and did you discover anything about Mrs. Cameron that surprised you?
The most interesting things that I discovered (for myself as it were), included: How much 'photography' JMC did before she was given her own camera (lessons and collaborations with Rejlander, Dodgson, Southey, Wilkie Wynfield etc); how Idylls of the King (1875 edition) was a real innovation - the first time photographs were used to illustrate a literary text; JMC's use of contact prints of flowers as embellishments to some of her early work; her mammoth attempt at illustrating the 1874 edition of Idylls (and her disappointment with the product); her close friendship with John Herschel - and how he solved the problem of 'fixing' an exposed photograph as early as 1820; her range of friends, family and advisors from Little Holland House; the extent of her role as a saloniere at Dimbola; and the beauty and innovation in terms of variegated focus, posing and composition of her work.The book took three months or so, with a lot of time spent comparing and testing the various design tools for print and for ebook (InDesign for print version, Blurb ebook Creator for ebook). I had to process three different catches of the digital images, ready for desktop pdf, printer's high-res edition, and low-res online and ebook edition, Finding tools for annotations, indices, picture sources etc (still not properly interactive). I constructed the book as an illustrated pictorial essay, trying to develop a format that is readable for students and others who are frightened by long texts, - and a format suitable for web-reading. Ebooks will develop their own aesthetic and ergonomics, but this is still (like early interface design), still in its infancy. The ipad and similar tablets are an ideal vehicle for hands-on reading and looking. There's still a lot to do in the evolution of the ideal ebook. Bob Stein's Voyager 'Expanded Books' of the early 1990s were a great landmark in the evolution of ebooks.
As someone who has read 'Julia Margaret Cameron and the Allure of Photography' and is quoted in a chapter, can you tell me what your impression is of her ? Has it changed once you wrote the book?
Building an image of JMC - her character, her manner, her sensibility is, as you know, a kind of non-linear process of absorbing and synthesizing descriptions, comments, allusions, images, reminiscences, reported conversations, comments and anecdotes... and what has emerged for me (my own intuition about Julia) is of a hugely empathic, highly cultured, socially and interpersonally skilled lady who is a minor aristocrat, natural bohemian (her and her sisters, with their Calcutta, Versailles and Little Holland House upbringing - they used to converse together in Bengali, sported flowing multi-coloured saris and robes , they made a huge impact on the social cultured elite of the age. Julia's personal enthusiasms and charm made it possible for her to draw-in and entrance even shy and socially-reticent scientists (thnk of John Herschel - who became a lifetime correspondent and friend), think of Darwin. She was the kind of charming, eccentric character who would stage-manage her soirees, engage her guests in amateur dramatics, tableaux-vivant, party games - yet also engineer brilliant dinner-party intellectual discourse (Taylor, Watts, Tennyson - as reported by Annie Thackeray). The image of her in purple robes, with silver-nitrate-blackened hands chasing after passersby (potential models) and nabbing and cajoling neighbor's children to pose for her. Her bedroom overlooked the main road (Gate Lane) so she could espy likely sitters from her bay window. She was a character, an artist, socially adept but not always socially proper, setting styles in what became known as the aesthetic dress, a proto-modernist in her photographs, an innovator with her photographic illustrations, her albums, her hands-on practice, her theatricality, and her practicality.
Will you continue to write about Mrs. Cameron and those in the Freshwater Circle? What are you writing next?
The next project will try to provide an overview of her work in the context of the Freshwater Circle - a kind of pictorial essay on the F.C.
You have a background in Film and Media and 'Allure of Photography' goes into great detail about the medium and history of photography and other photographers. This impressed me very much. Can you please speak about that aspect of the book?
The research sector of Media History is still in a fledgling state, so one is carving out territory that is still mostly virgin. I'm especially interested in the role that technological innovation plays and the effects of technology upon the human sensorium - the development of an aesthetics of the machine age, and the effect of technologies like high-speed shutters, responsive photo-sensitive agents, multi-camera and multiple-exposure, immersive audio-visual environments (from The Phantasmagia of Philipdor and the Dioramas of Daguerre to modern Happenings and virtual realities) - and many more such instances . My longer term objective is a complete history or 'back-story' of our contemporary media - tracing all the media-arts-technology roots of 21st century media, and the ideas and innovations that inspired them.

Has anyone else ever had experiences where they have received acupuncture and, during some of their sessions, they have seen and/or heard messages from deceased relatives and/or pets?
This has happened to me twice (I get acupuncture once a week). The first time it happened, I heard the voice of my Grandmother, showing me my missing cat drinking from a bowl and telling me that he was o.k.
The second time, I saw my deceased dog who I miss very much and she was talking to me, but I could not hear her very well.
Would my Grandmother, my Cat and My Dog be concidered spirit guides or what would they be considered?
I guess I am a little confused and looking for some clarity if anyone can help.
Thank You:)

More than 83% of British builders work more than 41 hours per week, new research by Tarmac Cement has found.
In addition, 84% of the builders surveyed said they work at least one weekend per month, with a whopping 27% working every single weekend.
And it seems the pressures of the job are getting in the way of family occasions as well. 76% of those surveyed had missed an event due to work – with 23% missing a birthday or anniversary and 27% missing a holiday.
With so many UK builders overworked and time-poor, Tarmac Cement is offering them a chance to win time off by offering cash prizes every week of £500 with bags of Blue Circle Postcrete.
Customers just need to text their receipts to 80808 to enter, with one winner drawn every week from June to the end of August.
And for those rare evenings off, every bag of Blue Circle Postcrete also gives customers the chance to win cinema tickets every day – with 500 up for grabs.
The UK's number one ready-to-use post fixing cement, Blue Circle Postcrete is designed to save builders time. Timed tests have shown that experienced fencers can set two posts and hang a panel in less than 10 minutes.
For builders and professional landscapers who need fences built fast, Postcrete offers the durability and speed to get the job done quicker – leaving evenings and weekends free! Hang it in 10!

Dear Parents,
What a difference a week and a supportive community makes! Although every day is great at DES, there was a certain excitement in the air last Monday following the School District Meeting.Thank you to all of you who were able to make it to the School District meeting this past Saturday. Thank you as well to all of you who were there in spirit. Based on the results of the voting, the following is included for the 2015-2016 school year:
New Teachers' Contract for 2016-2019
All Day Kindergarten (Conditional)
Teacher Mentoring Program
Stipends for Clubs
Chromebooks for 5th grade
Instructional Materials for Reading Program
New Flooring for First Grade Classrooms
Increased Guidance Time
Art Display Case
New Phone System
By having the Dunbarton community support these investments, DES will continue to look at where we can find areas to improve and move forward. Each of these items will work towards this goal and ultimately each student will reap those benefits. Equally as important, the Dunbarton School Board, SAU administration and school administrators and staff were able to make these great gains while being fiscally responsible throughout the process. This is always a great balance to achieve.
I also wanted to briefly mention that we are seeing a definite uptick in the use of Pokemon, sports and other gaming cards among the students. You may want to limit your children bringing those to school should there be any valuable cards in their collection. Sometimes this can bring about some conflict among students when they are trading cards and such. As of late, I have had to become involved in mediating some concerns with such scenarios. My advice is to save yourself the trouble and they can conduct trading transactions outside of school.
I am going to use the remainder of this email to share some information with you from Dr. Cascadden, the Bow High School Media Club, Dr. Gage and Mrs. Hast.
Dr. Cascadden was excited to share the following information concerning the Alex Higgins Space Camp Scholarship Program offered by the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium. According to information he received from Jeanne T. Gerulskis, the Executive Director of the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium, all NH residents ages 9 - 18 are eligible to apply. They choose three young people each year for five days of immersive simulated astronaut or pilot training at the U.S. Space and Rocketry Camp in Huntsville AL. The scholarship covers the full cost of housing,meals and tuition; travel costs are not included. The deadline to apply is April 1; the awards will be announced at their annual family aerospace festival (Saturday, May 7).
This program was started in 2001; this year, they'll be sending their 50th award winner to space camp! Applications can be downloaded from their website, www.starhop.com; there's a link right on the home page. An exciting opportunity for sure!
The Bow High School Media Club would like to share some movie night information with Dunbarton families. The Bow High School media club will be holding a FREE Family Movie Night on March 25 from 6-9 in the BHS auditorium. They wanted to be sure and extend the invitation to all our Dunbarton students and their families. The following flyer includes all the information you will need: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12iQ08rIMKKKE7eLjOerTpn0e8aM1jpJ08PWuzdNhQTk/edit?usp=sharing
The following is information from Dr. Gage concerning some some survey information that will be arriving very soon:
As part of our process of collecting feedback from stakeholders our family survey will open March 23, 2016.
What you can expect:
-You will receive an email from Panorama Education with "Request for your Feedback: SAU 67 Family Survey" in the subject line.
-The email will be sent on March 23, please check your spam folder if you do not receive an email.
-The email will include a link to a confidential survey(s)
-You will receive one survey per school in which you have a child enrolled.
-Once you have submitted your survey(s) the link will become inactive.
-The survey window will open on March 23 and close April 6, 2016.
More specific information will be included in the email you receive.
You can view a draft of the survey at:
If you have questions please email Don Gage, Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, SAU 67 firstname.lastname@example.com
Update from the Nurse: I continue to see pockets of various illnesses here at DES: colds, "stomach bug" and now an increase in Influenza-like Illness (fever over 100 degrees fahrenheit, sore throat and/or cough). I want to thank parents/guardians for keeping me in the loop with "what is going around". I also want to thank you for keeping your child(ren) home when ill. It really helps keep things from spreading.
As a reminder, the 24 hour rule seems to be effective. This means your child should be symptom free (ex no vomiting/nausea) for 24 hours before returning to school. If your child has a fever, he/she should be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication. (Check those multi symptom medications as many contain acetaminophen). Of course, please be sure your child is ready to participate fully in the school day before returning. It is a long day for a child that does not feel well.
One parent asked if water bottles were allowed. Yes! Please send a labeled water bottle daily. It is so important to stay hydrated, and water will help with many symptoms such as stuffy noses and scratchy throats. In my opinion, a water bottle is a better option for many reasons than using the classroom bubbler.
Continue to remind your child to wash hands before eating and after using the bathroom. Soap, water and friction for 10-15 seconds is the most effective way to reduce the spread of germs. I often have to remind students not to wash the soap off right away but rather create a foamy lather. Please reinforce this at home.
As always, please give me a call at 774-3181 ext 205 with any questions, concerns or updates. Your children are important to me!
I hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed the almost spring weather as it was such a nice, sunny weekend.

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion
M. L. Anderson, 2009
Thermal energy- form of energy that manifests itself as an increase of temp.
Method for generating electricity.
Runs a heat engine- a physical device that converts thermal energy to mechanical output
Uses temp. difference that exists b/w deep & shallow waters.
Temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep water must be >20°C (36°F) for OTEC system to produce significant power.
60 million km2. (23 million miles2) of tropical seas absorb a tremendous amount of solar radiation.
Heat content equal to about 250 billion barrels of oil.
If less than 1/10th of 1% of this stored solar energy. converted to electric power, it would supply more than 20 times the total amount of electricity consumed in the U.S. on any given day.
Hybrid plants, combining benefits of the two systems, would use closed-cycle generation combined with a second-stage flash evaporator to desalinate water.
1881- Jacques Arsened'Arsonval, French physicist, proposed tapping the thermal energy of the ocean.
1930- Georges Claude, d'Arsonval's student, built the 1st OTEC plant in Cuba.
1935- Claude constructed another plant aboard a 10,000 ton cargo vessel off the coast of Brazil.
Weather & waves destroyed both plants before they could become net power generators.
1956- French scientists designed another OTEC plant for Abidjan, Ivory Coast, West Africa.
The plant was never completed due to reduced energy costs. Large amounts of cheap oil became available in the 1950's.
1962- J. Hilbert Anderson & James H. Anderson, Jr. started designing a cycle that focused on developing new, more efficient component design.
1967- patented new "closed cycle" design.
1970- Tokyo Electric Power Company successfully built & deployed a 100 kW closed-cycle OTEC plant on the island of Nauru.
1981- Became operational
Produced about 120 kW of electricity .
90 kW was used to power the plant & the remaining electricity used to power a school & several other places on Nauru.
Set a world record for power output from an OTEC system where the power was sent to a real power grid.
The Tokyo Power Company built a 100 kW shore-based closed cycle pilot power plant on the island of Nauru, in 1981. The pilot plant achieved a net output of 31.5 kWe during continuous operation, proving the principle of OTEC is a viable energy alternative. The plant is now decommissioned.OTEC Development
Postage stamps commemorating the OTEC pilot project located on Nauru.
Natural Energy Laboratory, Hi.History Continued
1974- United States became involved in OTEC research
Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority was established.
Has become one of the world's leading test facilities for OTEC technology.
1980- two laws enacted to promote commercial development of OTEC technology.
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Act, and the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Research, Development, and Demonstration Act .
Proposed Lockheed OTEC System
The OTEC platforms could be located in shallow water, right on the edge of the trench, which is a huge escarpment like structure that plunges straight down.
Military and security uses of large floating plant -ships with major life-support systems such as power, desalinated water, cooling and aquatic food.
Ships such as this could save many lives and relieved great suffering in natural disaster areas such as the 2004 EQ/T in Banda Ache, Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.
Benefits of OTEC:
Promotes competitiveness and international trade
Enhances energy independence and energy security
Promotes international sociopolitical stability
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from burning fossil fuel
In small island nations promotes self-sufficiency
minimal environmental impacts
improved sanitation and nutrition
Helps produce fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol
Produces base load electrical energy
Produces desalinated water for industrial, agricultural, and residential uses
Provides air-conditioning for buildings
Provides moderate temperature refrigeration
Potential to provide clean, cost effective electricity for the future

If you watched the Hawks-Celtics game, you probably weren't entertained by any of the gameplay. If you caught Harry the Hawk trying to excite the home crowd in the third quarter, however, you were in for a treat.
For some reason, the Hawks mascot was tightrope walking across the press row. At the end, Harry inexplicably tried to jump across the other side.
Unfortunately for the guy in the suit, and fortunately for people who love slapstick comedy, the mascot landed right on his crotch, like something out of a Three Stooges movie.
Watch the clip below for yourself.

Article Title
Effects of Punishment Proportion and Condition Sequence on Contrast and Induction with Humans
Document Type
When human subjects lose money in 50% of multiple-schedule components, the most common finding is a decreased response rate in the other components (i.e., punishment induction). When money is lost in only 10% of components, however, the most common finding is an increased response rate in the other components (i.e., punishment contrast). The purpose of the present study was to provide an experimental assessment of the relation between proportion of punishment components and contrast and induction. Four adult humans pressed a lever or pulled a plunger for money on a multiple VI VI schedule arranged with green and red rectangles. The proportion of red rectangles was either 10% or 50%. After responding was stable in both components, every response in the red component was followed by money loss. Across 10 punishment conditions, there was no systematic relation between proportion of punishment components and contrast and induction. With both the 10% and 50% proportions, induction occurred in four punishment conditions and contrast occurred in one. There were, however, systematic effects of condition sequence. For all subjects, the pattern across punishment conditions was induction, then contrast or less induction, then induction. Present results show that proportion of punishment components cannot account for discrepancies found in previous studies, and that effects of punishment on unpunished responses change over time, perhaps because of punisher novelty.

The car is here, but the man is not...Well, not yet!
On 12 September, Mika Häkkinen (who is the Johnnie Walker Global Responsible Drinking Ambassador) will officially launch the Never Drink And Drive campaign with a demonstration of the Join The Pact supercar on the roads of Sunway, Oasis Boulevard at 1.30pm.
As I was walking home from my gym yesterday night, I saw the supercar being transported in front of Sunway Pyramid Old Wing Main Entrance. So, naturally I reached for my camera.
Two chubby Mat Sallehs and a few local workers were seen transporting the supercar, which looks like a Bat Mobile to me! LOL!
Then out of nowhere, a chick climbed into the driver seat. Not sure who she was but I figured it must be the shortest ride in her life!

Today began with a lazy morning at home, followed by a 5 mile run and a trip to the farmers market. As usual, it was wonderful. I saw a lot of summer fruits and vegetables at the market today, though it's still a wee bit early for me to delve into summer squash -- I know I will be BURIED in summer squash come June-August, so why bring that upon myself now?! And I don't care whether the tomatoes appearing at the market are there because they were grown in a greenhouse -- I'd rather wait the few extra weeks for massive outdoor-grown heirlooms to appear. Speaking of drowning, I'm looking very much forward to drowning in various types of tomatoes all summer long.
The rest of the day was spent doing nothing but watching the Eurovision Song Contest (SOOOO GOOD) and I'm looking forward to an evening of dinner at our favorite diner, and a movie. And wine, and some cookies (I couldn't resist cookies from Batter Bakery today). It's been a really nice, laid back day. And thanks to the gift of a three day weekend, there are two more days left to go! In the meantime, here are this week's farmers market snapshots:

i have meet mihao xiaoni's for four years, being his teacher in "database structure" and her tutor in the experiment of "digital electronics".in the class, her thinking was very active and she completely understood what i said in the lecture. she showed her strong interest in computer science and often did further discussion with me after the class. in particular, her experimental methods were so innovative and creative that the experiment done by her was often more intensive than required. i was much impressed by her because of her quick thinking, serious logic and independence. besides, she was able to sort out various problems in the experiment, having the ability in debugging of both software and hardware.
To Whom It May Concern
It is my great pleasure to recommend MiLili Zhang to you, as she was
one of my finest students in our department.
MiZhang began attending my English classes in the Department of
International Trade University in 1992 and graduated in spring of 1996.
Though it has been over eight years since I last saw her, the deep
impression she made on me has not faded in the least. She is very
intelligent, honest, creative, articulate, adaptive person. Her high
academic achievement speaks for itself: she consistently scored in the
top 5% in class.

Solar Powered Airplane Is Here!
Solar Powered Sport Flying on the Horizon - Eric Lentz-Gauthier
I stand mid-field at a small airport nestled in the countryside outside of Milan; Solar Flight's flight test facility. The Sunseeker Duo is at the far end of the runway beginning its takeoff roll with its designer, Eric Raymond, in the cockpit. For 25 years Solar Flight has been on a quest to build the ultimate solar powered airplane. The Sunseeker Duo is the result. It is the third airplane in Solar Flight's Sunseeker family, the highest performing solar powered airplane ever built, and the first with a passenger seat.
Solar Flight is led by the husband and wife team, Eric and Irena Raymond. Eric is old school; an engineer, a builder, and a pilot who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. He comes by his fascination for pioneering honestly; his father designed underwater camera housings for Cousteau and his cronies, and the home where he grew up was a revolving door of engineers and explorers. Solar Flight carries this pioneering flame. It is only the third time the Duo has flown under its own power. The airplane is so light and its wings so large that it takes off effortlessly. On the ground the airplane is enormous. Its wings droop slightly under their own weight and, though the airplane handles well on the ground, it is obvious that it would rather be somewhere else. With a little speed, the wings lift to life, the wheels leave the ground and retract into the fuselage. The way you can tell when a dog smiles, you can tell the Duo is happy in the sky.
Electric power is the new great era for aviation pioneering, and sport aviation is where electric power has the most immediate promise. The advantages of electric drivetrains in aircraft are significant. Electric motors are supremely reliable, they require almost no maintenance, and cost next to nothing to operate. Their small size and low weight opens possibilities for novel airframe configurations and their efficiency, often above 90%, means less energy used making heat and noise. Energy storage remains the major limitation, but the Sunseeker family sidesteps the energy storage problem by flying directly on solar power. 1510 solar cells are integrated into the structure of Sunseeker Duo's wings and tail surfaces; each cell provides about 3 watts of power.
The Duo is silent when it lifts off the ground. As it nears me it becomes faintly audible. There is only a faint sound of wind through the propeller; I have heard more noise from a house fan. Sound is energy and energy used to produce sound is energy wasted; the Duo's silence is testimony to its efficiency. Design of the Sunseeker Duo began in 2010, and construction later that year. It was built in a small workshop in Radovljica, Slovenia, near Irena's childhood home and the airport where she learned to fly. The town is an epicenter of composites industries; factories that make skis, boats, windmill blades, and sailplanes are all found here. There is no zoning in the town. Factories are mixed between houses, horse stables, and small restaurants. On the edge of town is an ancient fortress that once guarded the pass to Austria through the Julian Alps. The site, within cycling distance of Solar Flight's workshop, served as a lunch destination during the Duo's construction. The location is a fitting birthplace for such a fantastical machine. To keep weight down, the Duo relies on carbon fiber for its main structures. No detail is overlooked. "There is a cascade effect of weight reduction; if you switch to a lighter motor, the motor mount can be lighter, and so can everything else, down to the landing gear. When you go around the design loop a second time, even the wings can be smaller to maintain the same wing loading. The weight goes down and down like a ripple effect through the whole plane every time you substitute a steel part for titanium or aluminum." Says Eric Raymond. The Duo has been around this loop more than a few times. The result is an airplane that is faster, more robust, and more capable than any solar-powered airplane ever built. When it came time to begin test flying, the project moved to an airport in Voghera, Italy. The location is quiet and out of the way, perfect for Solar Flight's somewhat secret endeavors. Most of the company's work is consulting done for outside projects. Recent projects include the Boeing Vulture UAV, the Lockheed HALE airship, Solar Impulse's HB-SIA. Sunseeker Duo's solar integration is unique in the group. The Duo integrates the solar arrays into the structure of the wing rather than "floating" them on top of the structure, it is the most advanced solar integration in any aircraft to date. Like the single seat Sunseeker, the Duo is built for sport flying and adventure touring. In 1990, to prove the concept of a practical solar powered airplane, Raymond flew Sunseeker I across the United States - the first solar powered airplane to cross America. In 2009 with an updated airplane, Sunseeker II, Raymond made a European tour that included the first Alps crossing by a solar powered airplane.

I think we've all experienced one of those moments when, out of the blue, a friend, colleague or family member has dropped a complete bombshell that we'd never have anticipated, without warning and often in totally incongruous circumstances or settings. Moments like, when out shopping with a close friend you've known for years and, seemingly at random, they turn to you, holding up a skirt: "Do you think this will suit me? And by the way, I'm gay!"
Such revelations are often followed by a stunned silence, as we try to process this new and totally unexpected information, in a setting that's really not conducive to any sort of heartfelt emotional response, and by the time we've managed to compose ourselves, we're already on the back foot, as our friend seems to think that a brief pause is all that we need to assimilate this new found knowledge… "So, the skirt; is it me, do you think?"
Such moments are, thankfully, a fairly infrequent occurrence in RL, and they're often the precursor to a whole series of related events and extensive follow-up conversations over coffee, wine and kitchen tables – I suppose that is the nature of families and friendships.
Sometimes, on reflection, we might realise that such revelations were perhaps not quite as unexpected as we initially thought – perhaps there were subtle clues that we'd missed or ignored, pointers that we'd not really taken notice of previously, or hints dropped that we'd never picked up on. Other times though, the bombshell can truly come from nowhere. The nature of such things is such that there's never really a right time or place for them to come out into the open… When exactly is the right opportunity to tell someone you're getting a divorce, leaving to spend the rest of your life in Bratislava or that you once killed a man? So the chances are they'll come at the most unexpected moments too.
Is not just in RL that people can drop bombshells…they can happen in SL too, and they can be no less revealing and earth-shaking. Unlike the real world however, because we rarely know our inworld friends as well or as closely as those in RL, many of the subtle signs and prompts that might otherwise alert us to potential bombshells are simply not there. So when the bomb drops, it can be an incredible surprise and shock.
I've found myself in that situation a number of times, and it can be extremely uncomfortable. Not only are you in a position where a friend is telling you something possibly very personal and of huge significance, but because we are unlikely to have the same closeness in terms of relationship than we'd have with a friend in RL, we may struggle to know how to react, what to say or understand why we are the recipient of this privileged information. In such a situation, it's hard to know what to do or a say – in real life we might offer a consoling hug, crack open a bottle of wine, or possibly call the police; offering a text *hug*, /me uncorks a bottle of Chardonnay, or picking up the phone to report a crime committed by somebody you only know in pixel form are just not the same, and are almost certainly not the most appropriate responses to a weighty disclosure.
This is where SL tends to fall down – as do most forms of 'social' media – in terms of being sociable, they don't really work that well at all. To be on the receiving end of an emotional bombshell we need to be able to react in an emotionally intelligent way: Frequently, this will mean providing a tangible response that requires some kind of interpersonal exchange that goes beyond mere words; or may mean 'being there' for someone… A bit tricky, when you're patently not there, wherever 'there' may physically be, and in circumstances where giving your undivided attention may not be an option.
We understand that SL certainly can provide a means of building relationships and fostering friendships, but they doesn't necessarily mean that they are of the same calibre as those we may enjoy outside the virtual world, and they may fall down badly in some respects – not because we cannot empathise, but because some of the basic essentials of a strong, supportive relationship are just not available to us in SL, or are at best, a poor substitute for the real thing.
So, if you are thinking of dropping some sort of bombshell on someone inworld, just be aware that their response might not be what you'd necessarily expect… It's not that they're not taking it seriously, but there's are very good chance they're in some sort of virtual shock, and may take a while to come around!

The bright orbs of Venus and Jupiter look close enough to be eyes; the crescent moon seems to smile.
That's the face in the sky astronomers are telling stargazers to watch for after sunset tonight, as a conjunction of the two shining planets over a sliver of moon puts on a show where the winter night's clear of clouds to the southwest.
The spectacle should be visible even in cities where light pollution obscures the view of less spectacular celestial shows.

So the heater in the office saga turned out to be the most frustrating project yet because I work on the office every day and I hate being too cold almost as much as I hate being too hot. So finicky. Sure, the windows in the office were kind of a PIA and replacing the door in the basement was hugely frustrating. But those projects ended. Done, finished, opening and closing like a charm; functioning as they should. The heater in my office? It's back at the store where we bought it and we're left with a hole in the wood walls, stuffed with towels to keep the cold out.
The bottom line is the heater didn't work as advertised. It said "heats 222 square feet." No mention of ceiling height or outside temperature. Sure we did our BTU calculations, but did we sufficiently account for all the windows? Maybe not. Did we attach some number to the fact that there's no basement below the room, just insulation? Probably not the right number. Did I see that 222 square feet number and fall hopelessly in love with a heater that only required 120v? Yea, it's possible. It just didn't work out, so it goes.
Two weeks ago when I was still in Maine working from a toasty wood-heated home, we revisited the heater issue. Sure, we could wait it out and before we know it heat won't be an issue anymore, but leaving projects unfinished is so not 2011. So we scoured the interwebs for wall heaters that would fit the existing hole and not require us to enlarge the hole too much, and came up with two options. And since we found both heaters on Home Depot's web site, we bought them both, knowing we could return the reject to our local store. Why two? Because a reviewer on the higher wattage version said that his didn't actually shut off when you turned the knob all the way off. We figured (hoped) his unit was probably not installed properly (at least that's what the manufacture's troubleshooting page suggests) but didn't want to be caught without a unit again, if this new dream-heater didn't live up to our expectations.
After work today we took our first trip to Home Depot since before the holidays. It was kind of like going home. Is that what they intended the "home" in Home Depot to mean? No? We had several returns leftover from pre-holiday projects and while we were there we decided to pick up a new 240v, 20A, double pole breaker for the new heater, per my dad's instruction. Of course we couldn't remember which model of Square-D breakers we have, so we bought two of those too.
(All joking aside, we're being totally safe about this whole project and not doing anything we're not comfortable with. We joke around here, but we don't joke around when it comes to electricity in real life.)

Kim MacConnel is an influential artist in the Pattern and Decoration Movement of the 1970s. Working with design elements, MacConnel has made frivolity a fine art. Taking cues from Picasso and the so-called "primitivists," MacConnel has taken the primitive and made it relevant in different dialogues between cultures. MacConnels' paintings may look as though influenced by the Cubists, which they are, but there is a deeper meaning below the surface based in the materials he uses, and the meeting place he creates through cross-cultural interactions.
MacConnel has worked in San Diego for the past 30 years, and has recently retired as a professor of art from UCSD. MacConnel is a seminal figure in the Pattern and Decoration movement of the seventies, but overall MacConnel's oeuvre has surpassed being categorized. His sensibility and talent has created a unique language using color and composition. He persuades the viewer to appreciate the appeal and conceptual property of patterns and draws inspiration from such wide-ranging and multicultural resources as the textile arts of numerous world regions, found graphic images, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso.
In 1969 MacConnel received his BA from UCSD and an MFA in 1972. He has taught in the Visual Arts Department in various capacities between 1976 and 1980, and permanently since 1987 until retirement in 2009. His work has been exhibited in the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial Exhibition's in 1975, 1977, 1979, 1981, and 1985; The Museum of Modern Art's An International Survey of Recent Painting and Sculpture, 1984; The Venice Biennale, 1984; inSite 1992, 1994. MacConnels' work belongs in such collections as the National Gallery of Art, the Morton G. Neumann Family Collection, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Albright-Knox Gallery, The Fabric Workshop and Museum, as well as the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
"What marks MacConnel as an original is his shameless embrace of decoration and the messiness with which he manifests his vision of a world run riot with dots, dashes and zigzags. His spirited assaults to highbrow sanctimony are loudly and liberally interspersed with sinuous lines, slapdash shapes and simplified renditions of bounty, beauty and leisure…" — David Pagel, Art in America, February 2004
